Marco.
The platter looks very pretty. How heavy is it compared with your old one?
Like comparing a feather with an elephant (almost)! :eyebrows:
Marco.
Sweet. :)
Marco. Any first impressions v the Mike New ? It would be usefull to compare also the Funk using Timestep or Vantage Audio bearings. In theory a less substantial mass bearing may give optimum results so reducing cost of upgrade as the Mike New complete mods are OTT for most people.
The arm looks lovely but in terms of finish and easy set up it does make SME arms look very fair value with 'normal' cartridges.
What is the main quality component in this tonearm since it is quite expensive? I read this on the Ortofon site, but it did not tell me too much:
Ortofon RS-212D 9" dynamic-balance tonearm
The Ortofon RS-212D tonearm takes analog sound reproduction to a higher level with highly configurable VTF options and a dynamic balance system for increased stability when tracking warps and other anomalies
D-series tonearms can be used for a wide array of cartridges, feature anti-skating control
